When I got my betta, he was a beautiful dark, emerald green...now that's healthy (aka not living in a cup) he's so BRIGHT! And colored scales have started showing up on his face! He's so pretty. I love him so! THOUGH, I'm still not sure what type he is!!! Any advice?

And now I present, Caravaggio Gaius Baltar:

In the light of the tank, he looks more blue than he actually is, but...MAN, he's beautiful! And he's not even two inches long yet!

He definitely is handsome. Looks like his ventrals are a little stunted though.

I hav a boy that has one stunted ventral that won't grow at all. It's more of a look thing thana health issue, so no worries there.

I'm thinking as far as tail type, he's a delta or super delta. Hard to tell without full flare pics. And I believe he's a metallic for his coloring. Dragon scaling seems to cover the face too, but don't quote me on this.
